So today I hosted a 2 vs 2 on Sanctuary with default damage with dmrs and brs.
Dmr was totally destroying the Br until somehow I managed to make the br a 4 shot kill.
Conclusion
4sk Br = 1.7
5ak Dmr = 1.8
I tested on a 1v1 and results were that both weapons were equally balanced.
Alright?
Also you probably got a 4sk cause he had previous damage. The BR is a 5sk

I wrote that I edited the weapon damage for the BR.
I did this by reducing damage by 90%.
This made the BR a 4sk and DMR remained a 5sk, but still by this, the DMR remained a 5sk since it doesnt have bleed-through shield.
These settings made the BR/DMR balanced.

What you aren’t considering is that reducing damage would offset the balance of all the other weapons. BR and DMR are balanced already. You aren’t supposed to use BR’s at long range. BR’s in the hands of a skilled person can wreck a DMR user at mid-close.

That sounds fine. The BR should own the DMR at close range and on small maps. On the other hand, the DMR should remain unaltered and the contest between the BR/DMR on medium maps be that the player with better skill should win and, on the large maps, well, too bad DMR, you don’t belong.

Not at all, all other weapons remained the same, maybe grenades and melee hits became 10% stronger for their bleed-through shield but not a big deal, all other rifles remained the same.
Currently, default DMR destroys every single rifle, except for the custom 4sk BR, they are the same.

No. Not true I’m afraid the DMR still beats the other guns at medium range aswel, this is why it will be nerded to

To each his own. I have no problems killing DMR users with a different rifle.
